Although in a busy location, it's not noisy. Visit the 12th-century Hexham Abbey or the town's good selection of independent shops, including a book store, pen and writing paraphernalia shop and toy shop.
The hotel is in Hexham town centre opposite the abbey - a good base for exploring south Northumberland. It's to the south of the A69 between Newcastle and Carlisle.
By car: around 2 hours 30 minutes from York, 3 hours from Manchester and 6 hours from London. Free on-site parking available.
By train: Manchester to Hexham takes 3 hours 30 minutes; London to Hexham takes 4 hours - after which, it's a 10-minute walk (or 5-minute drive) to the hotel. Book trains to Hexham.
A striking four storey sandstone Victorian building, the glass-fronted open plan ground floor certainly catches the eye. Inside, there's a contemporary look with parquet flooring and bold wallpapers, while leather and plaid-covered chairs mix with metal tables.
Staff are hard-working and attentive, ensuring guestes get the most from their stays. The open-plan ground floor consists of a lounge area with sofas and armchairs and a bar. There's on-site car parking with cycle racks.

All-day menus serve up Modern English food from an open kitchen. Expect dishes such as sea bass with gnocchi and smoked mussels and lamb with pancetta. There's a short but well-judged and well-priced wine list and it's the sort of place where only an aperitif will do - fortunately, they do a mean Negroni as well as an Aperol spritz.
Restaurant: modern British cuisine, locally-sourced ingredients, seasonal menus. All-day dining, open daily.
